After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 820

Somewhere in Terran, 2 Years Ago

"CAPTAIN!"

Gill looked worriedly at the captain who had already stood up, ready to run to another country. He had just been stitched for an unnecessary injury!!

That injury was not small! He should be bedridden!

The man packed up the basics, like his passport and his wallet. "Captain—-"

Gill was, unsurprisingly, ignored and he could only try to talk some sense out of him. "Please captain, you’re not in the condition to fly right now."

Garan’s face did not change. He didn’t even send him a glance before heading to the door. He was still handsome, tall, and prideful, but anyone who knew him well enough could tell that he was moving at a much slower than usual.

It was clear that Garan was not letting a little injury stop him from going to his wedding. Gill would’ve called Althea so she could convince him herself. Sadly, even those got destroyed during the accident.

Gill turned to glare in a direction, making the woman—Vanessa— flinch. Her palms were curled over her chest and her eyes were red from crying.

It irked Gill to no end.

Gill’s acerbic attribute lit up at the sight of her. How dare she act pitiful right now?!

"Well, we’re called special forces because no one pulled the others’ legs. What are you? A leech?"

"I—"

Vanessa was almost crying, but…

This couldn’t be blamed on her! Vanessa couldn’t breathe at the thought. Her love was going to get married!

The thought had been in her mind the entire mission was that it was going to finish soon and he was going to his wedding and she wasn’t going to have that!

Vanessa didn’t think at all. Because of her impulsiveness, she needlessly wasted a lot of effort—well-planned and funded to meet the schedule—and botched her part.

This resulted in the enemies finding them, and causing the captain to get injured.

Against all odds though, they still finished the mission somewhat on time.

Garan sighed, not wanting to bother about anything that could delay his departure. He opened the door and turned to them. "I’m going now. Take care of the rest."

The others trusted the captain and weren’t close enough to even attempt to stop him. They could only salute and do their best to handle the aftermath. "Yes, sir!"

Gill just rubbed his hair, but he knew the captain could only be stopped if he was chained to a building. In the end, he just planned on finding a decent international phone so the captain could be welcomed back with an entourage to assist him.

Of course, not everyone was so cooperative. For instance, the only woman in the team.

"Captain!" She yelled, running to step in front of him, "Your wound! You can’t be travelling at this tim—"

But her next words died down as she met his deep blue eyes filled with chilling cold. "Move."

Her body followed by survival instinct, but she regretted the moment she did. It was just that her legs were shaking in fear, as if she’d be shot if she dared block his way again.

So she could only watch as he left, to be married to another woman.

…

Limestone Valley, Present

Vanessa woke up crying then.

She covered her eyes that was flowing with tears. She was reminded of the pain she suffered that day he got married.

It was so painful. She was also suspended for a year, which was fine because she couldn’t function well during that time anyway.
